Our verdict
EnglishScore Tutors suits learners who want live English practice alongside an app, and the first step costs nothing because a free tier is included. Live individual sessions start at $34.40, below the €44.31 median lesson price across the platforms tracked here.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free tier is included, so the app can be used before a single session is paid for.
- A full refund is offered if the first session is not enjoyed, which is a stated promise rather than a generic policy line.
- Live sessions start at $34.40, under the €44.31 median lesson price of the platforms tracked.
- Tutors are screened, and the pool runs to from 100.
- The trial lesson is discounted, so a first booking costs less than the standard lesson price.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with nothing live for a learner who wants to talk a problem through.
- The offer is english and English only, so a learner wanting several subjects has to look elsewhere.
- The money-back period is 0 days, so the first-session promise is the only cover reaching past the opening booking.
- DojoTutor lists lessons from $10 and ErsteNachhilfe from €10.50, both under $34.40.
Who it suits
- Learners who want live conversation practice on top of an app and are working toward C1.
- People who would rather test the app for nothing, then book a session at $34.40.
- Learners content to keep questions in writing, since support runs on email and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners who want school subjects beyond English, since BUKI lists maths lessons from PLN 50.
- Buyers chasing the lowest entry price, since DojoTutor lists lessons from $10 against $34.40 here.
- Anyone hoping for a standing refund window, since the money-back period is 0 days while ErsteNachhilfe starts lessons at €10.50.
What you get free
The free tier is listed as yes, so the app side can be opened and used before a single live session is paid for. That keeps the first decision cheap and lets a learner judge the material before committing. The money-back period is 0 days, so once lessons are under way there is no standing refund window to lean on, and the cover described applies to the opening session only.
The company behind it
The operator is BC EnglishScore Limited, which puts a named company behind the app and the tutor roster rather than an anonymous seller. Support runs on email and help centre, so questions about lessons, scheduling or the app are handled in writing, either by email or through the help centre. No other channel is listed, which matters for anyone who would rather talk a problem through live.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to start?+
Two entry prices sit side by side. The app side starts at $24.99, and a live session starts at $34.40. Neither is a locked-in subscription figure, so the first real choice is whether the app or the live sessions carry the commitment. A free tier is also included, which can absorb that first test.
Is there a free trial for a live session?+
A free tier covers the app side, and the trial lesson is discounted. The first live session is therefore entered at a reduced price rather than at no cost, so budget for a single booking before deciding. The exception is that opening session itself, which carries a full refund if it is not enjoyed.
What happens if I want my money back?+
The money-back period is 0 days, so there is no standing refund window once lessons are under way. The exception is the opening session, where a full refund is offered if that first session is not enjoyed. Past that point, the general refund policy is the only cover described.
How many tutors are there and how are they checked?+
The tutor pool runs to from 100, and tutors are vetted by screening. That sits above the small end of tutoring marketplaces, where a handful of teachers is normal for a single subject. Screening is the stated standard for joining the roster, which keeps the check consistent across teachers.
What level can I reach, and is there a certificate?+
The stated ceiling is C1, an advanced level rather than a beginner cap, and a certificate is included, listed as yes. That pairing suits learners who want a record of progress once a course finishes. Providers tracked at the same ceiling are common, so this sits with the higher end of the range.
Which subjects and languages are covered?+
Coverage is english and English, so this is a single-subject, single-language service. Learners who want maths alongside English, or a second language, need a second provider rather than a second plan here. The narrow scope is the trade-off for the free tier and the individual lesson price.
How do the lessons run, and on which devices?+
The delivery method is app, and lessons are 1to1. That pairing means practice happens inside the app rather than in a classroom, with the session individual rather than a group class. Scheduling, materials and messages therefore all sit in the same place, which suits learners who like one place to look.
Who runs the company, and how do I get help?+
The operator is BC EnglishScore Limited, and support runs on email and help centre. In practice that means questions reach the team by email or through the help centre, in writing, rather than by phone. Anyone who needs a live conversation on the spot should factor that into the choice before signing up.
